Leafs Captain Auston Matthews Makes Worrisome Comments About His Health After Game 7 Debacle

Auston Matthews had a bit of a rough season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, even if his production was solid compared to the rest of the league.

Last season, the captain had 69 goals but was only able to manage half of that in 2024-25. He missed some games with an injury, and in the playoffs, it felt like he was dealing with something.

After only scoring one goal in the series against the Florida Panthers, reporters wanted to know what was up, and after Game 7, they asked him.

However, the response from Matthews was actually quite worrisome. He said he didn't know what was wrong and didn't even want to address it.

Moreover, the captain said that he tried to do everything he could to get his team to win. Unfortunately, it wasn't close to enough as the Leafs lost Game 7 by a score of 6-1.

Ultimately, the Leafs have a lot to figure out in the offseason, and one has to wonder if Matthews will be seeking treatment for whatever he has going on.

However, as it stands, fans are mostly worried about what is going to happen to Mitch Marner and John Tavares, who will become free agents on July 1st.

Considering the fact that the Core Four has had zero playoff success in the last eight years, it is likely that general manager Brad Treliving just blows it up.

Whether or not Auston Matthews approves of this probably does not matter. He should have played his best hockey when it mattered the most.
